All-Star Is Cheerleading A Sport?

[Haileycheer]

Hey guys! So im doing a report in my English class, and I need some reasons why cheerleading is/isnt a sport. It needs to be kind of argumentative, so listing some pros and cons would be nice! Thank you! I know there was another thread about this, but I think it was long and hard to read through.

We have a messaging board. Surely that makes us a sport???

Cheerleading is a sport but not officially. It meets all the criteria to be official
